The Cape May County Library branches are accepting non-perishable food items and unopened toiletries to donate to furloughed Coast Guard staff and families. They will only be taking in items that are not expired and unopened.
The Coast Guard has already gone without one paycheck and is in danger of missing future paychecks if the federal government shutdown continues.
“I want to thank the staff at the Cape May County Library for putting this all together,” said Freeholder E. Marie Hayes, liaison to the county library system. “We hope the community will continue to support out Coast Guard members who are in need at this time.”
There are locations for the Cape May County Library in Cape May City, Cape May Court House, Lower Township, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle City, Upper Township, Wildwood Crest, and Woodbine. More information on the library can be found at cmclibrary.org.
